Neuromuscular/TMJ Dentistry

Do you get headaches often? Do your face, neck, shoulders, and jaw ache? Do your jaw joints pop or click, or do you have problems opening or closing your mouth? If so, you may have TMJ dysfunction - misaligned jaw joints. Dr. Courtney attended the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, and as an accomplished LVI dentist, she can help relieve your TMJ symptoms with neuromuscular dentistry.

Neuromuscular dentistry involves proper alignment of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) to reduce stress on the muscles and nerves surrounding the jaw.

How Does Neuromuscular Dentistry Help?
Advances in neuromuscular dental science have taught us how to find and then maintain a comfortable jaw position. We use a TENS unit to relax muscles, increase blood flow, and help us find ideal jaw position. In some cases, dental restorations can raise or lower areas of your bite, creating a naturally comfortable position for your jaw. A custom-made oral appliance may help realign your bite, as well. In most cases, we can reposition the jaw in just a few weeks, without surgery or braces.

As an LVI dentist, Dr. Courtney can help you find the neuromuscular relief you need from nagging TMJ pain. Call our Columbus, OH office today to schedule a consultation. The Results: Look and Feel Better!

LVI dentist Dr. Courtney has found that many patients experience a moderate to significant change in facial appearance after neuromuscular therapy. Patients who had recessed lower jaws may enjoy a new profile, including a stronger jaw line and chin. Areas of the jaw that protruded may be pulled back into alignment. Not only will you feel better after TMJ therapy, but you may also look better!

We invite you to experience our relaxing, soothing environment, while being catered to by our warm and friendly team members. Located in Columbus, our office is convenient to Upper Arlington, Dublin, and Westerville. Call today to reserve your appointment with Dr. Courtney or Dr. Wolt.
